dotnet.exe should support response files like csc.exe, msbuild.exe

[rrelyea]

@nschwerzler is working with us to get NuGet.exe to support response files, so that extremely long sets of arguments are supported. (NuGet/Home#5891)

Given that we don't want to add features to NuGet.exe without have similar functionality in dotnet.exe, we'd love to see you working with @nschwerzler on the design. My impression is that he will submit a PR to add this functionality, if you agree with an approach/design.

(he is from an internal team that needs a few nuget features, and he is focused on driving those changes).

Ideally, this work could be delivered with the CLI that will ship with the VS 2017 version 15.5 release.

We can not get this is for 15.5, but we will take the feature into consideration for a future release.

Here is the pull request for response file support. It should be easy to move this code into dot.exe (and unit tests). This provide great flexibility when dealing with long command lines and command line profiles in automated build tool suites.
